Creative Thinking And The Effectual Thinking Process In The Design Process

4.1.1. Initial significant Thinking Approach
Basic thinking acts as a major processing mechanism in the designer's mind and as an archive of information and images, it considered as the most important component of thinking processes during the design process. All types of information including: the experiences they have had, the environmental background of designers, images they have seen in the past, and even those new information that they seek and collect throughout a design process, are collected and processed in this stage. Basic thinking approach can be defined as being part accepted knowledge which is responsible for presenting a solution. It involves problem solving, designing, and decision making in the model of the design process

Then the students need to infer the relative success of their solution. Students need also to identify the causal reasons in their thinking process.
4.1.3 Creative Thinking for idealising solutions
Creative thinking is suggested by the Author to be under the dominance of right hemisphere, responsible for intuitive, visual, and simultaneous thinking during the design process. The Author defines Creative thinking as being of generated knowledge which is responsible for idealising a solution (Mahmoodi, 2001). It involves Synthesising, Elaborating and Imagining in his model of the design process. With regards to creative thinking, the following lists of activities are suggested by the Author to be considered by students and educators of design during the design

Students need to implement some design types which would help them generate solutions and to apply some design strategies to exercise their design ideas so they can prepare a plan of work to generate ideas.
• Elaborating: Students need to be able to expand their initial ideas and modify the initial as well as newly generated ideas to extend on the ideas which are generated by others. So they can be able to shift their perspectives and viewpoints and not stick with one idea to develop concrete ideas.
• Imagining: Students need to develop fluent responses to problem to predict the final solution and its effects, in order to visualize and speculate on their solutions. Besides they need to trust their judgments and decisions.
4.2. Practical models for design methodology
This part present a review of some famous architects‟ opinions about The Design Process for the Contemporary Architectural projects, through analyzing their quotes which reflects their thoughts, present their knowledge backgrounds, analyzing their inspiration sources, understanding their development tools and displaying the final results as shown in (table3). And all these factors are related to each other
